What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?
I have a cheap plastic hair brush my mum bought me over 40 years ago when I was about 6 or 7, she said it cost a dollar and surprised I still use it daily.
There is nothing wrong with it, so it lives on.

when you hated a month ago but now
I'd say the people of Greenland are way safer under Denmark than the US for one simple reason, public healthcare.
And other public safety nets to prevent people dying.

Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world
Reply in thread
I'm not defending the article, but I think most overhead power lines are aluminium, which is probably good as it's abundant compared to copper.

Portugal approaches Saab to purchase Gripen fighter jets following withdrawal from US F-35 program
Australia should too, although we already have bunch of the shitty F-35's, they are faulty by design, so maybe we can return them for a full refund.

Where I live, the grid operator (Ausgrid) is about to start installing a 300Mwh battery installation just down the road.
Glad to see progress finally happening, lots more of this please.

I've not been to every station, but each one I have been to is different, although the platforms are roughly the same.
So much nicer and really quiet too.

Self-hosting a Matrix server for 5 years
Reply in thread
Ah, makes perfect sense, I don't use the federation and I've got all media on a NAS with 24TB of space, so I've not really been concerned with space usage... I might want to do some house keeping at some point though.
Glad I hadn't missed any major.
Thanks for the reply.

Also might be worth mentioning at the present time Mint is based on Ubuntu 24.04, that can help narrow things down, but also help if you need third party packages.

Self-hosting a Matrix server for 5 years
I'm curious what maintenance you need to do each month, I've been running matrix for well over 5 years and I haven't done anything other the keep the docker/db containers updated.
Should I have been doing stuff? Now I'm worried.

I still say to friends, "Here's a dollar twenty five and go fuck yourself".
Tollbooth Willy is awesome.

What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in?
Reply in thread
I only had to suffer through the ending, still makes me mad.
The story, if anyone is bored...
I was on a work retreat/hack-a-thon and the final episode was being broadcast that night. I'd tried and failed to find any part of game of thrones interesting in the past, I'd never seen a complete episode.
Everyone is there glued to the TV, I'm at the dinning room table trying to get some kind of work done, but ended up watching most of the episode.
What a massive pile of crap I thought to myself, no idea what these people are on about.
I'm glad everyone agreed it sucked, but really annoyed that is the only episode I've seen, and I will never waste my time on it.
